Hope they don't westernize it too much. Wuthering Heights has such complex emotions that need to be handled carefully. Fingers crossed! 🤞

₹150 million rejected for ₹80 million? Must be some creative freedom Warner Bros offered. Hope it's worth the artistic choice!

Read this novel in college - such intense passion and tragedy. Hope they capture the raw emotions properly. Jacob Elordi has that brooding intensity perfect for Heathcliff!
